Family Bible Conference

The Family Bible Conference is a week-long graded Bible conference for people of all ages. Adults may come without children, but children must be accompanied by a parent. Come away and be refreshed by God’s Word, fellowship, and fun. The week of August 8-13, 2011 may be a week that will change your life. The speaker for adults is Robert Anderson, senior pastor of Colonial Baptist Church in Randallstown, MD. To learn more about him click here.
